What with these die-hard Dawg fans?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I don’t know how to say this so I’ll just come right out with it- I’m not a football fan.
Please don’t be disgusted with me, it’s just that no matter how many times my husband or friends try to explain it to me, it just goes in one ear and out the other. I like to watch if even if I don’t understand just because a few simple explanations have somehow stuck in my brain.
But my real question has to do with college football. I am the proud parent of a UGA student, who like me, often scratches her head trying to figure out what’s going on. No matter, I obviously route for UGA. But when I’ve met people who didn’t attend UGA, or have no friends or relatives that attended and are UGA fans.
I wonder what connects them to the Georgia Dogs and their football schedule? What is it about that school that they cheer for? For that matter what makes people route for Ga. Tech if they have no connections with that school? So while I may not understand the rules of football I’m really curious to understand the psychology of supporting a college football team if you or a family member didn’t attend.
